Maybe we were meant to be like a heartbeat turning black 

Wasted like the colors mixed while thieves steal out the black 

It's like a broken smile, a step apart that gives you style 

It doesn't need explaining you know it's fall when it starts raining 

It's just the way it is 



Touching through an open flame and sparks begin to fly 

Looking for another way but you can't help passing by 

It's not your enemy, it's the sense somehow you won't be free 

It's only rank and file, trampled love, and walking wild 

It's just the way it is 



Within the crystal pains that we shattered long ago 

Alone with what remains it's hard to let you know 

In a no-win fight, I guess two wrongs don't make a right 

We're in the dash between the way we are and what we've been 

It's just the way it is
